Support multiline input with user eval function #2939

Description

@blakeembrey

Currently, the node repl module has the capability to do multiline input when the error is an instanceof Recoverable. Unfortunately, the constructor is not exported from the repl module which results in hacky ways to achieve a multi-line REPL experience like node. By exporting the error constructor, consumers could create their own recoverable instances to function identical to before and have multi-line input work naturally.

if (e instanceof Recoverable) {
, nodejs/node-v0.x-archive#8640, babel/babel#1741, TypeStrong/ts-node#3

Edit: Mostly a question, if it's reasonable to add I can issue a PR for a one-line export change.
